There are some beautiful items sold on JTV, and I have many of them. Have been making jewelry for fifty years, purchase many findings through JTV. My concern is the Moissanite I returned was switched at JTV with a less expensive stone and the blame placed on me. It is frustrating that there is no way prove it, they are a big company. On the other side, I have not touched the stone they sent to me, so someone who handled it may have left their print on it. I have never seen the stone they returned to me, in my entire life, that I can swear to in a court of law.
It is ok that you do not like Moissanite. Don't purchase! It is not acceptable to call Charles Winston a crook, if there is no proof, you did not share information to document that. Your calling me a fool for buying, could be correct, but for wrong reason. My complaint was for process of completing exchange, and JTV did correct that.
There is a lifetime warranty on every Moissanite sold at JTV. It offers a free replacement in original mounting against, lose stones, cracks, scratched stone, and loss of brilliance. This is for life at no charge. Moissanite is not a diamond simulant, it stands alone.
When you call someone dishonest and can't substantiate the charge, you can be held responsible for their loss of income. Personally, your writing does not inspire me against a purchase, can't see how it would affect any sound minded consumer. As for Winston being fake, have you been fortunate enough to visit the Family Jewelry business where you must be buzzed in? Perhaps you saw the beautiful diamond donated to the Smithsonian . That is some fake! I love Moissanite for just what it is, the compliments are many and I enjoy sharing my positive experience.
Should anyone care to give me Moissanite, I would feel so fortunate. Did purchase a 7.3 DEW oval ring before Christmas, it was not as expected and was returned. Loved the style, would try again when one comes along that has the fire and brilliance I've come to expect. Mistakes happen and you move on.
Moissanite is beautiful, that is my concern. Fran Arnold
